The deficit was down to one.
2 minutes and 45 seconds remaining.
The Chinese fans in the arena were ecstatic. Across the ocean, throughout the Divine Land, everyone was roaring with passion for Su Xi's three-pointer.
Anticipation for the impending Olympic gold medal grew, and with it, their confidence.
With the deficit cut to one, Yao Ming returned to the court.
The Chinese Team was shining brilliantly.
Su Xi high-fived his teammates and strode back to his side of the court. When he saw Yao Ming running from beyond the three-point line toward the paint, his brow furrowed instantly. Su Xi was a keen observer.
He immediately sensed something was off with Yao Ming.
Just then, Ginobili brought the ball up the court. Su Xi quickly moved to intercept, blocking Ginobili's path.
Ginobili's style of play was unorthodox; he was famous for taking the road less traveled. Seeing Su Xi stick to him like glue, he didn't try to evade. Instead, he charged right at him.
